Notes:
Bermocoll® EHM 500 is a hydrophobically modified ethyl hydroxyethyl cellulose.
Applications
Bermocoll® EHM 500 is used as a thickener in all types of latex paints, intended for interior as well as for exterior use.
Bermocoll® EHM 500 improves high shear viscosity, roller spatter, flow and levelling. Bermocoll® EHM 500 has a high
resistance to enzymatic degradation. Normal dosage is 0.1 - 0.4 % calculated on the total paint weight. In order to
facilitate dispersion in water, Bermocoll® EHM 500 has been treated to give a pH-dependent dissolvingIt should be added
to neutral or slightly acid water. To speed up the dissolving process, pH should be increased to above 8 by using alkaline
ingredients such as ammonia or alkaline pigment dispersants.If adjustment of the final paint viscosity is necessary, highly
concentrated slurry either in water or in an organic solvent should be used. It is not recommended to add the product as a
dry powder after pigment grinding. Under the alkaline pH conditions at that stage Bermocoll® EHM 500 will dissolve too
rapidly with the risk of lump formation.

Storage
In unopened bags, Bermocoll® EHM 500 can be stored for several years. In opened bags, the moisture content of
Bermocoll® EHM 500 will be influenced by the air humidity. At temperatures above 250 °C (480 °F), charring of
Bermocoll® EHM 500 will occur.

Packaging and transport


Like many industrial processed powdery materials, cellulose ether dusts are combustible and can cause dust explosions.
Dust formation must be avoided or kept to a minimum. Care should be taken to prevent ignition from heat, spark, open
flames or hot surface. Bermocoll® EHM 500 is packed in in polyethylene bags. Net weight 20 kg. We recommend
emptying the bags from the bottom. The empty bags can be recycled or burned.

Safety and handling


At high temperatures and in contact with an open flame, Bermocoll® EHM 500 will burn slowly with the characteristics of
cellulose.
